ILLINOIS MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT PREVENTION COUNCIL 2014 ANNUAL REPORT A private and public partnership effectively combating motor vehicle theft and related crimes in Illinois since 1991.

To the Governor and the Members of the Illinois General Assembly: We are pleased to present the Illinois Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Council 2014 Annual Report. This report describes the Council’s accomplishments and challenges over the past year. The Council’s partnership of public and private sectors is effectively fighting vehicle theft in Illinois. Vehicle theft in Illinois has dropped 73 percent since 1991, when the Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Act was passed by the General Assembly. From 1991 to 2013, the number of stolen vehicles decreased from 75,642 to 20,703. This is a decline of 54,939 vehicles, resulting in a savings of more than $320 million in property losses. Grant funds awarded by the Council have improved motor vehicle theft law enforcement by establishing and supporting multi-jurisdictional task forces, investigative teams, and other anti-theft efforts throughout the state. These programs have produced impressive results over the past 23 years, including: • 36,702 criminal investigations initiated. • 68,159 audits of vehicle-related businesses. • 14,373 violation letters issued to audited businesses. • 17,639 arrests. • 7,069 convictions obtained. • 41,212 stolen vehicles recovered, totaling approximately $342 million. Since inception, more than $133 million has been granted to a variety of anti-theft programs and efforts which have resulted in the recovery of more than $642 million in stolen vehicles and reduced theft rates. These efforts have resulted in a return of nearly $5 for every $1 spent. We would like to thank the individuals who are dedicated and committed to the Council’s mission to decrease motor vehicle theft in Illinois, and congratulate those carrying out this successful work. Very respectfully, John Maki Executive Director Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority

The Illinois Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Council

In 1991, the General Assembly established the Illinois Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Council, an 11-member coalition of representatives from the insurance industry, state’s attorneys, and law enforcement officers. The Council’s mission is to reduce vehicle theft, insurance fraud, and motor vehicle theft-related crimes in Illinois. The Illinois Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Act requires insurance companies to pay $1 into a special trust fund for each private passenger automobile insured for physical damage coverage. About $6.5 million are annually collected and distributed by the Council. The funds are designated to support law enforcement programs that increase investigation and prosecution of vehicle theft-related crimes. Members of the Council appoint Grant Review Committee members. The Grant Review Committee reviews grant proposals, budgets, and other information that must be brought before the Council. Council members The following members serve on the Illinois Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Council: Honorable Anita Alvarez Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez was sworn in as Cook County’s first female and first Hispanic state’s attorney in December 2008.

That steady decline culminated in 2005 with its lowest murder rate since 1963. Superintendent McCarthy demonstrated strong leadership as a supervisor while commanding three separate precincts during a five-year period and bringing about significant positive changes. His success ultimately led him to a new assignment at the 70th precinct, where he helped diminish a double digit crime rate as well as decrease the number of complaints against police officers. These accomplishments garnered the praise of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. In the fall of 2006, Superintendent McCarthy was chosen to lead the Newark Police Department, which achieved a 9 percent reduction in murder within his first

In 2009, he was selected to lead CPD’s Gang Enforcement Unit, which centralized all 50 district gang teams. His unit was recognized for its success with a Meritorious Citation. In January 2012, Mr. Schmitz was assigned to lead Chicago’s Englewood District. The district saw a 44-

Overview of Council programs 1992-2014 A variety of theft prevention efforts have been supported with MVTPC funding since the Council’s inception in 1992. Funding emphasis has been placed upon law enforcement programs that enhance investigation and prosecution of vehicle theft-related crimes (Figure 2). Since 1992, programs funded by the Council expended approximately $133 million. Most funds pay the salaries and fringe benefits of personnel assigned to task forces and special investigative teams in the state (Figure 3). Remaining funds are utilized for equipment, commodities, travel, contractual agreements, and costs not covered by the other categories.

All programs are cooperative partnerships. Nearly all involve considerable support from participating agencies. Illinois State Police and the Secretary of State Police Department have assigned task force directors and personnel to these programs and absorbed costs for these personnel. The National Insurance Crime Bureau also has assigned agents to various efforts without requesting compensation. Illinois insurance companies have loaned approximately 525 vehicles for use by Council-funded law enforcement programs since the Council began.

They also perform reverse role sting operations to help identify dealers who may be engaged in illegal activities. The teams are comprised of 9 auditors, two auditor supervisors, and one correspondence operator. In 2014, the teams performed 2,152 audits involving 24,093 vehicles and 2,979 essential vehicle parts.

Program funds are used to repair these vehicles and obtain required Illinois titles and license plates. The Council, through the National Insurance Crime Bureau, has designated trust funds for repairing or purchasing parts for these vehicles to make them safe for operation. Task force officers are assigned these vehicles for surveillance and undercover activities. Motor Vehicle Theft Intelligence Clearinghouse Grantee: Illinois State Police Amount awarded for 2014: $326,893 The Motor Vehicle Theft Intelligence Clearinghouse provides focused statewide analytical support for motor vehicle theft task forces and the Illinois law enforcement community.

The Clearinghouse prepares the Motor Vehicle Theft Program Quarterly Activity Summary, which provides to the Council performance reports of Council funded entities. The Clearinghouse processed 342 requests for information in 2014, which included intelligence summaries, statistical estimates, analytical charts, intelligence alerts, geographic maps, and presentations. Analytical assessments were prepared identifying theft patterns for targeted enforcement efforts. Phone record, link association, and frequency distribution were also prepared in response to various complex tactical investigations conducted by the motor vehicle theft task forces. A Daily Briefing emphasizing the importance of proper theft and recovery data entry was produced. The Clearinghouse also provided instruction during the motor vehicle theft Advanced Investigator’s training courses. Motor Vehicle Theft Investigation Training Program Grantee: Illinois State Police Amount awarded for 2014: $51,964 The Motor Vehicle Theft Investigation Training Program is administered by the Illinois State Police. The goal of the program is to increase awareness and understanding of motor vehicle theft in the law enforcement community and the insurance industry in Illinois. The program offers classes for investigators, patrol officers, and insurance industry officials. The training classes cover important characteristics of vehicle theft cases and investigation techniques specific to vehicle theft-related cases. In 2014, 24 training sessions were conducted totaling approximately 312 hours of instruction presented to 614 local, county, state, and motor vehicle theft prevention task force and insurance investigators.
